The myosin-associated giant protein kinases twitchin and titin are composed predominantly of fibronectin- and immunoglobulin-like modules. We report the crystal structures of two autoinhibited twitchin kinase fragments, one from Aplysia and a larger fragment from Caenorhabditis elegans containing an additional C-terminal immunoglobulin-like domain. The structure of the longer fragment shows that the immunoglobulin domain contacts the protein kinase domain on the opposite side from the catalytic cleft, laterally exposing potential myosin binding residues. Together, the structures reveal the cooperative interactions between the autoregulatory region and the residues from the catalytic domain involved in protein substrate binding, ATP binding, catalysis and the activation loop, and explain the differences between the observed autoinhibitory mechanism and the one found in the structure of calmodulin-dependent kinase I. 相似文献

The precise positioning of the flexible C-helix in the catalytic core is a critical step in the activation of most protein kinases. Consequently, the alphaC-beta4 loop, which anchors the C-helix to the catalytic core, is highly conserved and mediates key structural interactions that serve as a hinge for C-helix movement. While these hinge interactions are conserved across diverse eukaryotic protein kinase structures, some families such as AGC kinases diverge from the canonical hinge interactions. This divergence was recently proposed to facilitate an alternative mode of regulation wherein a conserved C-terminal tail interacts with the alphaC-beta4 loop to position the C-helix. Here we show how interactions between the alphaC-beta4 loop and the N-terminal SH2 domain of ZAP-70 tyrosine kinase are mechanistically and functionally analogous to interactions between the alphaC-beta4 loop and the C-terminal tail of AGC kinases. Such cis regulation of protein kinase activity may be a feature of other eukaryotic protein kinase families as well. 相似文献

SR proteins (splicing factors containing arginine-serine repeats) are essential splicing factors whose phosphorylation by the SR-specific protein kinase (SRPK) family regulates nuclear localization and mRNA processing activity. In addition to an N-terminal extension with unknown function, SRPKs contain a large, nonhomologous spacer insert domain (SID) that bifurcates the kinase domain and anchors the kinase in the cytoplasm through interactions with chaperones. While structures for the kinase domain are now available, constructs that include regions outside this domain have been resistant to crystallographic elucidation. To investigate the conformation of the full-length kinase and the functional role of noncatalytic regions, we performed hydrogen-deuterium exchange and steady-state kinetic experiments on SRPK1. Unlike the kinase core, the large SID lacks stable, hydrogen-bonded structure and may provide an intrinsically disordered region for chaperone interactions. Conversely, the N-terminus, which positively regulates SR protein binding, adopts a stable structure when the insert domain is present and stabilizes a docking groove in the large lobe of the kinase domain. The N-terminus and SID equally enhance SR protein turnover by altering the stability of several catalytic loop segments. These studies reveal that SRPK1 uses an N-terminal extension and a large, intrinsically disordered region juxtaposed to a stable structure to facilitate high-affinity SR protein interactions and phosphorylation rates. 相似文献

Rho-binding kinase alpha (ROKalpha) is a serine/threonine kinase with multiple functional domains involved in actomyosin assembly. It has previously been documented that the C terminus part of ROKalpha interacts with the N-terminal kinase domain and thereby regulates its catalytic activity. Here we used antibodies against different domains of ROKalpha and were able to reveal some structural aspects that are essential for the specific functions of ROKalpha. Antibodies against the kinase domain revealed that this part of the protein is highly complex and inaccessible. Further experiments confirmed that this domain could undergo inter- and intramolecular interactions in a complex manner, which regulates the kinase catalytic activity. Other antibodies that raised against the coiled-coil domain, Rho binding domain, and the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain were all effective in recognizing the native proteins in an immunoprecipitation assay. Only the anti-Rho binding domain antibodies could activate the kinase independent of RhoA. The PH antibodies had no apparent effects on the catalytic activity but were effective in blocking actomyosin assembly and cell contractility. Likewise, mutations of the PH domains can abrogate its dominant negative effects on actin morphology. The subsequent disruption of endogenous ROK localization to the actomyosin network by overexpressing the PH domain is supportive of a role of the PH domain of ROK in targeting the kinase to these structures. 相似文献

The regulation of the activity of kinases and phosphatases is an essential aspect of intracellular signal transduction. Recently determined structures of AGC protein kinases, including isoforms of PKB, PKC, GRK and ROCK, indicate that occupancy of a hydrophobic pocket in the kinase N-lobe by a segment of the protein immediately C terminal to the kinase domain provides a mechanism for regulating kinase activity. In addition, crystal structures of Aurora-A and Aurora-B, which are closely related to AGC family kinases, in complex with their activators, TPX2 and INCENP, respectively, show how allosteric kinase activation is achieved by the binding of the activator protein to an equivalent hydrophobic pocket. Hence, regulation of kinase activity by analogous interactions is a shared regulatory mechanism of these kinases. Two crystal structures have explained the molecular basis of PKA anchoring through its regulatory subunits by members of the AKAP family of scaffold proteins. AKAPs can also interact directly with protein kinase and phosphatase catalytic domains. The crystal structure of the PP1 catalytic subunit in complex with the targeting subunit MYPT1 indicates that there is also scope for intimate phosphatase regulation by scaffold proteins. 相似文献

Pak1 protein kinase of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a member of the p21-GTPase-activated protein kinase (PAK) family, participates in signaling pathways including sexual differentiation and morphogenesis. The regulatory domain of PAK proteins is thought to inhibit the kinase catalytic domain, as truncation of this region renders kinases more active. Here we report the detection in the two-hybrid system of the interaction between Pak1 regulatory domain and the kinase catalytic domain. Pak1 catalytic domain binds to the same highly conserved region on the regulatory domain that binds Cdc42, a GTPase protein capable of activating Pak1. Two-hybrid, mutant, and genetic analyses indicated that this intramolecular interaction rendered the kinase in a closed and inactive configuration. We show that Cdc42 can induce an open configuration of Pak1. We propose that Cdc42 interaction disrupts the intramolecular interactions of Pak1, thereby releasing the kinase from autoinhibition. 相似文献

The highly modular nature of protein kinases generates diverse functional roles mediated by evolutionary events such as domain recombination, insertion and deletion of domains. Usually domain architecture of a kinase is related to the subfamily to which the kinase catalytic domain belongs. However outlier kinases with unusual domain architectures serve in the expansion of the functional space of the protein kinase family. For example, Src kinases are made-up of SH2 and SH3 domains in addition to the kinase catalytic domain. A kinase which lacks these two domains but retains sequence characteristics within the kinase catalytic domain is an outlier that is likely to have modes of regulation different from classical src kinases. This study defines two types of outlier kinases: hybrids and rogues depending on the nature of domain recombination. Hybrid kinases are those where the catalytic kinase domain belongs to a kinase subfamily but the domain architecture is typical of another kinase subfamily. Rogue kinases are those with kinase catalytic domain characteristic of a kinase subfamily but the domain architecture is typical of neither that subfamily nor any other kinase subfamily. This report provides a consolidated set of such hybrid and rogue kinases gleaned from six eukaryotic genomes–S.cerevisiae, D. melanogaster, C.elegans, M.musculus, T.rubripes and H.sapiens–and discusses their functions. The presence of such kinases necessitates a revisiting of the classification scheme of the protein kinase family using full length sequences apart from classical classification using solely the sequences of kinase catalytic domains. The study of these kinases provides a good insight in engineering signalling pathways for a desired output. Lastly, identification of hybrids and rogues in pathogenic protozoa such as P.falciparum sheds light on possible strategies in host-pathogen interactions. 相似文献

Byr2 protein kinase, a homolog of mammalian mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEKK) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae STE11, is required for pheromone-induced sexual differentiation in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Byr2 functions downstream of Ste4, Ras1, and the membrane-associated receptor-coupled heterotrimeric G-protein alpha subunit, Gpa1. Byr2 has a distinctive N-terminal kinase regulatory domain and a characteristic C-terminal kinase catalytic domain. Ste4 and Ras1 interact with the regulatory domain of Byr2 directly. Here, we define the domains of Byr2 that bind Ste4 and Ras1 and show that the Byr2 regulatory domain binds to the catalytic domain in the two-hybrid system. Using Byr2 mutants, we demonstrate that these direct physical interactions are all required for proper signaling. In particular, the physical association between Byr2 regulatory and catalytic domains appears to result in autoinhibition, the loss of which results in kinase activation. Furthermore, we provide evidence that Shk1, the S. pombe homolog of the STE20 protein kinase, can directly antagonize the Byr2 intramolecular interaction, possibly by phosphorylating Byr2. 相似文献

Signaling through cAMP and cAMP-dependent protein kinase: diverse strategies for drug design 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase has served as a prototype for the protein kinase superfamily for many years while structures of the cAMP-bound regulatory subunits have defined the conserved cyclic nucleotide binding (CNB) motif. It is only structures of the holoenzymes, however, that enable us to appreciate the molecular features of inhibition by the regulatory subunits as well as activation by cAMP. These structures reveal for the first time the remarkable malleability of the regulatory subunits and the CNB domains. At the same time, they allow us to appreciate that the catalytic subunit is not only a catalyst but also a scaffold that mediates a wide variety of protein:protein interactions. The holoenzyme structures also provide a new paradigm for designing isoform-specific activators and inhibitors of PKA. In addition to binding to the catalytic subunits, the regulatory subunits also use their N-terminal dimerization/docking domain to bind with high affinity to A Kinase Anchoring Proteins using an amphipathic helical motif. This targeting mechanism, which localizes PKA near to its protein substrates, is also a target for therapeutic intervention of PKA signaling. 相似文献

The conformational plasticity of protein kinases 总被引:32,自引:0,他引:32
Protein kinases operate in a large number of distinct signaling pathways, where the tight regulation of their catalytic activity is crucial to the development and maintenance of eukaryotic organisms. The catalytic domains of different kinases adopt strikingly similar structures when they are active. By contrast, crystal structures of inactive kinases have revealed a remarkable plasticity in the kinase domain that allows the adoption of distinct conformations in response to interactions with specific regulatory domains or proteins. 相似文献

High affinity binding of Hsp90 is triggered by multiple discrete segments of its kinase clients 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The 90 kDa heat shock protein (Hsp90) cooperates with its co-chaperone Cdc37 to provide obligatory support to numerous protein kinases involved in the regulation of cellular signal transduction pathways. In this report, crystal structures of protein kinases were used to guide the dissection of two kinases [the Src-family tyrosine kinase, Lck, and the heme-regulated eIF2alpha kinase (HRI)], and the association of Hsp90 and Cdc37 with these constructs was assessed. Hsp90 interacted with both the N-terminal (NL) and C-terminal (CL) lobes of the kinases' catalytic domains. In contrast, Cdc37 interacted only with the NL. The Hsp90 antagonist molybdate was necessary to stabilize the interactions between isolated subdomains and Hsp90 or Cdc37, but the presence of both lobes of the kinases' catalytic domain generated a stable salt-resistant chaperone-client heterocomplex. The Hsp90 co-chaperones FKBP52 and p23 interacted with the catalytic domain and the NL of Lck, whereas protein phosphatase 5 demonstrated unique modes of kinase binding. Cyp40 was a salt labile component of Hsp90 complexes formed with the full-length, catalytic domains, and N-terminal catalytic lobes of Lck and HRI. Additionally, dissections identify a specific kinase motif that triggers Hsp90's conformational switching to a high-affinity client binding state. Results indicate that the Hsp90 machine acts as a versatile chaperone that recognizes multiple regions of non-native proteins, while Cdc37 binds to a more specific kinase segment, and that concomitant recognition of multiple client segments is communicated to generate or stabilize high-affinity chaperone-client heterocomplexes. 相似文献

The death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) family has been characterized as a group of pro-apoptotic serine/threonine kinases that share specific structural features in their catalytic kinase domain. Two of the DAPK family members, DAPK1 and DAPK2, are calmodulin-dependent protein kinases that are regulated by oligomerization, calmodulin binding, and autophosphorylation. In this study, we have determined the crystal and solution structures of murine DAPK2 in the presence of the autoinhibitory domain, with and without bound nucleotides in the active site. The crystal structure shows dimers of DAPK2 in a conformation that is not permissible for protein substrate binding. Two different conformations were seen in the active site upon the introduction of nucleotide ligands. The monomeric and dimeric forms of DAPK2 were further analyzed for solution structure, and the results indicate that the dimers of DAPK2 are indeed formed through the association of two apposed catalytic domains, as seen in the crystal structure. The structures can be further used to build a model for DAPK2 autophosphorylation and to compare with closely related kinases, of which especially DAPK1 is an actively studied drug target. Our structures also provide a model for both homodimerization and heterodimerization of the catalytic domain between members of the DAPK family. The fingerprint of the DAPK family, the basic loop, plays a central role in the dimerization of the kinase domain. 相似文献

Coordinated temporal and spatial regulation of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for diverse cellular processes such as cell division, cell motility and the formation and maintenance of specialized structures in differentiated cells. In plasmodia of Physarum polycephalum, the F-actin capping activity of the actin-fragmin complex is regulated by the phosphorylation of actin. This is mediated by a novel type of protein kinase with no sequence homology to eukaryotic-type protein kinases. Here we present the crystal structure of the catalytic domain of the first cloned actin kinase in complex with AMP at 2.9 A resolution. The three-dimensional fold reveals a catalytic module of approximately 160 residues, in common with the eukaryotic protein kinase superfamily, which harbours the nucleotide binding site and the catalytic apparatus in an inter-lobe cleft. Several kinases that share this catalytic module differ in the overall architecture of their substrate recognition domain. The actin-fragmin kinase has acquired a unique flat substrate recognition domain which is supposed to confer stringent substrate specificity. 相似文献

Structural basis for the autoinhibition of focal adhesion kinase 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Appropriate tyrosine kinase signaling depends on coordinated sequential coupling of protein-protein interactions with catalytic activation. Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) integrates signals from integrin and growth factor receptors to regulate cellular responses including cell adhesion, migration, and survival. Here, we describe crystal structures representing both autoinhibited and active states of FAK. The inactive structure reveals a mechanism of inhibition in which the N-terminal FERM domain directly binds the kinase domain, blocking access to the catalytic cleft and protecting the FAK activation loop from Src phosphorylation. Additionally, the FERM domain sequesters the Tyr397 autophosphorylation and Src recruitment site, which lies in the linker connecting the FERM and kinase domains. The active phosphorylated FAK kinase adopts a conformation that is immune to FERM inhibition. Our biochemical and structural analysis shows how the architecture of autoinhibited FAK orchestrates an activation sequence of FERM domain displacement, linker autophosphorylation, Src recruitment, and full catalytic activation. 相似文献

The cytokine-independent survival kinase (CISK) in the serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase family plays an important role in mediating cell growth and survival. N-terminal to its catalytic kinase domain, CISK contains a phox homology (PX) domain, a phosphoinositide-binding motif that directs the membrane localization of CISK and regulates CISK activity. We have determined the crystal structures of the mouse CISK-PX domain to unravel the structural basis of membrane targeting of CISK. In addition to the specific interactions conferred by the phosphoinositide-binding pocket, the structure suggests that a hydrophobic loop region and a hydrophilic beta-turn contribute to the interactions with the membrane. Furthermore, biochemical studies reveal that CISK-PX dimerizes in the presence of the linker between the PX domain and kinase domain, suggesting a multivalent mechanism in membrane localization of CISK. 相似文献

The 1.7 A crystal structure of human cell cycle checkpoint kinase Chk1: implications for Chk1 regulation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The checkpoint kinase Chk1 is an important mediator of cell cycle arrest following DNA damage. The 1.7 A resolution crystal structures of the human Chk1 kinase domain and its binary complex with an ATP analog has revealed an identical open kinase conformation. The secondary structure and side chain interactions stabilize the activation loop of Chk1 and enable kinase activity without phosphorylation of the catalytic domain. Molecular modeling of the interaction of a Cdc25C peptide with Chk1 has uncovered several conserved residues that are important for substrate selectivity. In addition, we found that the less conserved C-terminal region negatively impacts Chk1 kinase activity. 相似文献

ROCK or Rho-associated kinase, a serine/threonine kinase, is an effector of Rho-dependent signaling and is involved in actin-cytoskeleton assembly and cell motility and contraction. The ROCK protein consists of several domains: an N-terminal region, a kinase catalytic domain, a coiled-coil domain containing a RhoA binding site, and a pleckstrin homology domain. The C-terminal region of ROCK binds to and inhibits the kinase catalytic domains, and this inhibition is reversed by binding RhoA, a small GTPase. Here we present the structure of the N-terminal region and the kinase domain. In our structure, two N-terminal regions interact to form a dimerization domain linking two kinase domains together. This spatial arrangement presents the kinase active sites and regulatory sequences on a common face affording the possibility of both kinases simultaneously interacting with a dimeric inhibitory domain or with a dimeric substrate. The kinase domain adopts a catalytically competent conformation; however, no phosphorylation of active site residues is observed in the structure. We also determined the structures of ROCK bound to four different ATP-competitive small molecule inhibitors (Y-27632, fasudil, hydroxyfasudil, and H-1152P). Each of these compounds binds with reduced affinity to cAMP-dependent kinase (PKA), a highly homologous kinase. Subtle differences exist between the ROCK- and PKA-bound conformations of the inhibitors that suggest that interactions with a single amino acid of the active site (Ala215 in ROCK and Thr183 in PKA) determine the relative selectivity of these compounds. Hydroxyfasudil, a metabolite of fasudil, may be selective for ROCK over PKA through a reversed binding orientation. 相似文献

We have studied the solution structures of the multi-functional protein kinase A using small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering and have found a remarkable structural diversity in the different isoforms of this multi-subunit enzyme, in spite of its having high sequence homology and a common domain organization within its sequences. The available high-resolution crystal and NMR structural data for the protein kinase A components have aided in the interpretation of the solution scattering data and enabled us to develop models that bring insights into protein kinase A activation and targeting mechanisms, such as the opening and closing of the catalytic cleft to facilitate substrate binding or inhibition, respectively, and the role of sequence segments that join functional domains in the R subunit in providing a structurally flexible scaffold for interactions with the C subunit and A kinase-anchoring proteins (AKAPs). 相似文献
